Blues Traveler's hometown song. They invariably play it sometime during a New York-area show after they've been on the road for a while.

At the beginning of the album cut, you can hear downtown traffic; in the middle, an ambulance siren can be heard.

The handclaps on the album version of this song are credited to Justin Niebank, the record's producer. The claps at the end are of various friends assembled in the studios during recording. They can be heard saying "Good one", "Whoo doggy!" and "Yeah!"

The song is about the effect of living in New York City - which is a drug in and of itself, according to the lyrics.

A play on the phrase "dropping some LSD", slang for taking a dose of acid,
a common drug in the concert scene. To the band, the experience of playing
in their hometown of New York City gives them a similar high.
